Tron founder Justin Sun claimed that after his official X account was compromised, he reached out to OKX exchange to freeze the stolen funds, but the platform failed to respond to the request. However, OKX CEO Star Xu denied these accusations, stating that the exchange had not received any official request.
OKX: We Checked Everywhere, Including Spam — No Request Received
CEO Star Xu said that no notice regarding the issue was received through OKX’s official communication channels. In a now-deleted X post, Sun claimed that a “freeze notice” was sent by a relevant law enforcement agency to OKX’s official email address. Sun also said that he had no other means of reaching OKX’s compliance department.
In response, OKX stated: “Our law enforcement cooperation team checked all emails, including the spam folder. No request related to this case has been received.”
Xu added, “OKX operates under consumer protection policies in accordance with the law. We cannot freeze a customer’s funds based on a personal X post or verbal communication. As the CEO of HTX, I believe you should understand this.”
Background
On May 3, the Tron DAO announced to its 1.7 million followers that its official X account had been hacked. During the breach, a malicious crypto token contract address was posted, direct messages were sent to users, and unknown accounts were followed.
Following this, Justin Sun posted a now-deleted statement on X, urging OKX to respond:
“(…) The relevant law enforcement agency already sent a freeze notice to the official OKX email address, but police have not received a response. We have no other way of contacting OKX’s compliance team. This is a recently exposed public case, and related evidence is widely available online. Our shared goal is to fight fraudulent activity and protect the community. (…)”
OKX CEO Xu, after Sun’s public accusations, urged him to share a screenshot showing when and where the alleged law enforcement request was submitted.
